The List is endless. As members join this group, I will continue to add to this endless list.


I am not going to create any rules yet but for now all I ask is that we keep it clean and on the subject of packaging only.

Also that we all work together and help each.

We DO NOT need to bad mouth each other especially between sales representatives and manufacturers.

I encourage success stories and stories of failure. But tell us why something was a failure not necessarily who the failure was. We all make mistakes and sometimes (not always) it was an honest mistake.
